Description of the Hypot function

The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle of a triangle. The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states, that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

\(\displaystyle c^2=a^2+b^2 \)

\(\displaystyle c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \)

The derived Hypot function calculates the square root of a series of numbers by adding the squares.

\(\displaystyle h=\sqrt{a^2+b^2+...n^2} \)
